Is It Time for a Roof Replacement? Here’s How N.E. Building & Restoration Can Help

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements — rain, wind, snow, and everything in between. But over time, even the best roofs wear down. If you’re starting to see signs of damage, leaks, missing shingles, or just know your roof is over 20 years old, it might be time for a replacement.

At N.E. Building & Restoration, we specialize in full-service roof replacements that are fast, professional, and insurance-friendly.

How to Know If You Need a New Roof

Some of the most common signs that it’s time for a replacement include:

  • Curling, cracked, or missing shingles
  • Moss overgrowth
  • Water stains or leaks in your ceiling
  • Sagging rooflines
  • Granules in your gutters
  • Rising energy bills
  • Storm or hail damage

If you’re unsure, we offer free roof inspections to evaluate the condition of your roof and provide honest recommendations.

Anatomy of a Roof
Here’s a diagram showing you each part of your roof and what goes into it.

The anatomy of a roof consists of several key layers and components that work together to protect your home. At the base is the roof decking, usually made of plywood or OSB, which provides the structural foundation. Over that lies the underlayment, a water-resistant or waterproof barrier that adds a layer of protection against moisture. On top of the underlayment are the shingles or roofing material (such as asphalt, metal, or slate), which act as the outer shield against the elements. Along the edges and peaks, flashing and ridge caps are installed to prevent water intrusion at joints and transitions. Drip edges guide water away from the roof and into gutters, while vents and ridge ventilation allow hot air and moisture to escape the attic space. Altogether, each element plays a vital role in ensuring your roof stays durable, weather-resistant, and energy-efficient.
